For some, the pairing of cereal and almond milk is a beloved classic breakfast or snack, while for others it's a new and exciting combination to discover. In its newest campaign, plant-based beverage brand Califia Farms shared this anytime snack with Sesame Street's Cookie Monster.
As Suzanne Ginestro, chief marketing officer at Califia Farms, reports, "While nearly 50% of liquid dairy consumers have plant-based milk in the fridge and the average household has four types of milk, most of them use dairy milk for their cereal mainly out of habit." This is the first time that Sesame Workshop has collaborated with a plant-based milk brand and it encourages people of all ages to rethink the kind of milk they add to their cereal, whether they enjoy it first thing in the morning or as a late-night treat.
